THEA 251Shakespeare, Hamilton, Hip-Hop, and the Language of Performance3

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0 In this course we will study a small number of Shakespeare plays, not as self-contained textual artifacts, but as scripts for theatrical (or more recently cinematic) performances. We will watch and analyze scenes as we explore the relationship between text and performance. How is a text's language and imagery interpreted and embodied through voice and performance? We will focus in equal measure on the classic and the contemporary: from Shakespeare's mastery of traditional rhetorical devices to the dexterity of contemporary verse, such as in Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton and the performative offerings of hip-hop. We will also discuss the differences between early modern staging practices and modern performance approaches. This Shakespeare and Performance class offers students the opportunity to explore the 1018

THEA 252Shakespeare and Social Justice3

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0 This course explores the relationship between Shakespeare and social justice. Theater and other types of live performance arise out of and give expression to their surrounding cultures. Shakespeare endures over time both because of how he plumbed the depths of human character and modeled different types of justice in his own time, and because diverse perspectives on Shakespearean text and performance have been re- imagined and re-embodied over time. The class will decolonize Shakespeare by examining some of the hidden institutional and cultural aspects of Shakespeare that reinforced a perspective of colonialist power, and it will explore ways in which Shakespearean performance has also been used as a means of cultivating empathy, justice, and a sense of shared humanity and community through such topics as, for example, the use of Shakespeare in prisons, multi-cultural Shakespeares, and Shakespearean activism.
